The Department of Justice indicated in a letter Monday that Congress had not demonstrated a need for the audio recording of the department’s interview with Robert Hur, given that the transcript of the interview has already been made public, NBC News Justice & Intelligence Correspondent Ken Dilanian reports.

WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee plans to vote this week on a measure to hold President Joe Biden’s ghostwriter in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over documents and other materials tied to his work on the president's memoirs. The vote on the resolution targeting writer Mark Zwonitzer is scheduled for Thursday morning, just hours before Biden and former President Donald Trump hold their first debate of the 2024 campaign.

Zwonitzer’s attorney previously indicated he would produce the documents, but later said Zwonitzer would not cooperate without a subpoena, the committee said. The committee in March issued a subpoena, one that the panel said Zwonitzer’s attorney challenged. A Biden campaign spokesperson and Zwonitzer's attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.
